Investing: Return For Investment
Where to invest for a 20% to 100% return on your money
Investment return is always top of mind for investors. Currently, the average US bank savings account is paying just 0.06% and bank CD rates are at historic lows. As such, most people are losing money when compared to inflation.
Investors always ask, “Where can I put my money for a double-digit return for investment?” In normal circumstances, the answer is investing in the US stock market.
Most of the time, keeping money invested in the US stock market for over ten years should yield that desired return for investment (on average), but these are not normal times.
With over eighteen years’ experience in the financial markets and advising the investment of billions of dollars in client funds, I am now telling friends, clients, and family to take money out of the US stock market.
If your investment goals are more than ten years from now, then now is the time to ratchet back your investment risk. Aggressive investors should reposition themselves to a more balanced portfolio, whereas balanced investors should shift to a more conservative stance.
Investors with an investment time frame of fewer than ten years should consider taking money completely out of the market.
For investors willing to take more risk with some of their money, I do see an investment that will continue to outperform the US stock market for the next year: yielding a 20% to 100% return for investment.
Before I reveal this specific investment, let’s examine why it is time to take some money out of the US stock market.
First of all, I expect the US stock market to crash, most likely sometime in the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of next year. Previously, I wrote, “I have never been more concerned about the fundamentals of the US and global economies than I am right now.”
Quite simply, there is no reason for the US stock market to be at or approaching all-time highs after US GDP just plunged by 32.9% with a 10.2% unemployment rate. Furthermore, with all the corporate bankruptcies, many of the jobs lost due to the coronavirus pandemic will not come back.
For these reasons alone, the current US stock market highs are unsustainable and completely disconnected from the underlying fundamentals of the US economy.
As investors finally realize the US economy is not going to bounce back quickly to where it was before the coronavirus pandemic, the US stock market will fall.
When the US stock market falls, investors will pour money into gold. As I wrote previously, gold will go higher due to increasing economic uncertainty, inflation, and the law of supply and demand.
I expect gold to produce a return on investment (ROI) from 20% to 100% over the next year.
It is never a good idea to put all of your money in one particular investment, but gold is a good place for some of your money this next year.
Where can you get gold investment advice?
Recommendations for Investing in gold are best handled by someone who specializes in gold as an investment.
For this reason, I refer my family, friends, and clients to a company I trust (this is my affiliate link so I receive compensation when my friends, family, clients, or someone else does business with this company):
Before investing in gold make sure you speak with a knowledgable specialist who can explain the risks and give you individualized recommendations based upon your investment objectives.
There are no guarantees as to the return for any investment, but I strongly believe the price of gold will be 20% to 100% higher in 2021.
